The website provides information about our churches, services, events, activities, faith, community work and occasional offices such as baptisms, weddings and funerals.

In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to East Vale Ministry Area.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information on this website is accurate and up to date. However, church service times, events, clergy availability and other arrangements may change, sometimes at short notice.

Information on this website is provided for general guidance only. If you are making a special journey or relying on information for an important occasion, please contact the relevant church or a member of the Ministry Area team to confirm the details.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.

Pastoral and safeguarding enquiries

The website and its contact facilities are not monitored continuously and should not be used to request urgent assistance.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

Safeguarding concerns should be reported using the contact information on our Safeguarding page. We are committed to promoting the wellbeing of children and adults at risk and to responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns.

You may use this website only for lawful purposes.

You must not:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or associated systems
  • Introduce viruses, malicious software or other harmful material
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the website
  • Use the website to send abusive, threatening, discriminatory or unlawful communications
  • Collect personal information from the website for unauthorised marketing or other improper purposes
  • Misrepresent your identity or your relationship with East Vale Ministry Area

We may restrict access to the website if we reasonably believe it is being misused.

Copyright and permitted use

Unless otherwise stated, the text, design, graphics, photographs and other original material on this website are owned by, or used with permission by, East Vale Ministry Area, its churches, the Diocese of Llandaff, the Church in Wales or the relevant copyright owner.

You may view, download or print material for personal, non-commercial use. You may also share links to pages on this website.

You must not reproduce, republish, modify, sell or use substantial parts of the website for commercial purposes without prior permission from the relevant copyright owner.

Some photographs, documents, logos, maps and other materials may be subject to separate third-party rights. Their appearance on this website does not grant permission for further use.

If you believe material on this website infringes your copyright or has been used without appropriate permission, please contact us with details of the material concerned.

Photographs and personal information

We aim to use photographs and personal information respectfully and in accordance with applicable data-protection and safeguarding requirements.

If you appear in a photograph on this website and have concerns about its use, or would like us to consider removing it, please contact us. We will review the request promptly, although legal, safeguarding or record-keeping considerations may sometimes affect what action we can take.

External websites and services

This website may contain links to websites and services operated by other organisations, including the Church in Wales, the Diocese of Llandaff, social-media platforms, map providers, video services, booking systems and donation providers.

These links are provided for convenience and information. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, security, content or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse everything published on the linked website.

When you use an external service, its own terms and privacy notice may apply.

Donations, bookings and payments

Donations, bookings or payments made through an external provider may be governed by that provider’s terms and conditions.

Where a church event, venue booking or other activity has specific booking, cancellation or refund terms, those terms will be provided separately and will take precedence in relation to that transaction.

Our Cookie Policy explains how the website uses cookies and similar technologies and how you can manage your preferences.

Please read these documents alongside these terms.

We aim to keep the website available and working properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, withdraw or change any part of the website without notice for maintenance, security or operational reasons.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be free from errors, viruses or other harmful components. You should use appropriate security software and take normal precautions when using the internet.

Our responsibility

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

To the extent permitted by law, East Vale Ministry Area and its participating churches are not responsible for loss or damage arising from:

  • Reliance on information that has become inaccurate or out of date
  • The cancellation or alteration of a service or event
  • Temporary unavailability of the website
  • The content or operation of an external website
  • Viruses or other harmful material introduced by a third party
  • Use of the website for purposes outside its intended, non-commercial use

These terms do not affect any rights you may have under applicable law.

You must not present this website within another website in a way that misrepresents its source or context.

We may ask for a link to be removed if it is misleading, harmful or inappropriate.
